Answer:

2.4 * 10^-6 C/m²

Explanation:

The Force experimented by a particle in an electric field will be equal to:

F = E*q

Where E is the magnitude of the electric field and q is the charge of the particle.

The Electric field caused by a parallel plate capacitor will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where σ is the charge density of the plates of the capacitor and ε0 is the Vacuum permittivity constant.

We replace this expression in the expression for force and issolate σ and get that:

σ = F*ε0/q = 0.38 N * 8.854 * 10^-12 F/m / (1.4*10^-6C) = 2.4 * 10^-6 C/m²

A 1300-kg car moving on a horizontal surface has speed v = 60 km/h when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought to

slega [8]

The stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m

<h3> Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

U = K.E

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

kx² = mv²

k = mv²/x²

where;

m is mass

v is speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
x is the distance

k = (1300 x 16.67²)/(2.3²)

k = 68,290.3 N/m

Thus, the stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m.

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of th

Nadusha1986 [10]

(a) 129.3 m

The motion of the rock is a projectile motion, consisting of two indipendent motions along the x- direction and the y-direction. In particular, the motion along the x- (horizontal) direction is a uniform motion with constant speed, while the motion along the y- (vertical) direction is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ downward.

The maximum height of the rock is reached when the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. The vertical velocity at time t is given by

$v(t) = v_0 sin \theta +gt$

where

$v_0 = 30 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the rock

$\theta=53^{\circ}$ is the angle

t is the time

Requiring $v(t)=0$ , we find the time at which the heigth is maximum:

$0=v_0 sin \theta + gt\\t=\frac{-v_0 sin \theta}{g}=-\frac{(30)(sin 53^{\circ})}{(-9.8)}=2.44 s$

The heigth of the rock at time t is given by

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where h=100 m is the initial heigth. Substituting t = 2.44 s, we find the maximum height of the rock:

$y=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})(2.44)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.44)^2=129.3 m$

(b) 44.1 m

For this part of the problem, we just need to consider the horizontal motion of the rock. The horizontal displacement of the rock at time t is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

where

$v_0 cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the velocity, which remains constant during the entire motion

t is the time

If we substitute

t = 2.44 s

Which is the time at which the rock reaches the maximum height, we find how far the rock has moved at that time:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.44)=44.1 m$

(c) 7.58 s

For this part, we need to consider the vertical motion again.

We said that the vertical position of the rock at time t is

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By substituting

y(t)=0

We find the time t at which the rock reaches the heigth y=0, so the time at which the rock reaches the ground:

$0=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\0=100+23.96t-4.9t^2$

which gives two solutions:

t = -2.69 s (negative, we discard it)

t = 7.58 s --> this is our solution

(d) 136.8 m

The range of the rock can be simply calculated by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the rock when it reaches the ground, so when

t = 7.58 s

Since the horizontal position of the rock is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

Substituting

$v_0 = 30 m/s\\\theta=53^{\circ}$

and t = 7.58 s we find:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(7.58)=136.8 m$

(e) (36.1 m, 128.3 m), (72.2 m, 117.4 m), (108.3 m, 67.4 m)

Using the equations of motions along the two directions:

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

And substituting the different times, we find:

$x(2.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.0)=36.1 m$

$y(2.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(2.0)-4.9(2.0)^2=128.3 m$

$x(4.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(4.0)=72.2 m$

$y(4.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(4.0)-4.9(4.0)^2=117.4 m$

$x(6.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(6.0)=108.3 m$

$y(6.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(6.0)-4.9(6.0)^2=67.4 m$

bulgar [2K]

Before collecting a specimen of urine or feces, the nursing assistant asks the nurse or consults the lab for which storage and delivery method to use.

There are different tests that need to be performed on a urine or feces specimen. It depends on the patients that which test would be asked for him to be done.

The storage and delivery methods for urine and feces in the case of different tests has to be consulted by the nurse or consultant.

Incase of an emergency test, whose results are immediately required the method of delivery is a fast mode one. For patients that have a mild disease or are not at risk, other reliable methods can be used. Each specimen should be properly labeled for proper checking.
